More grows in the garden than the gardener sows. We had some excitement over the weekend. During my morning routine while my first cuppa is steeping, I check out how the container garden is doing overnight. Some mornings I also get to greet our new deck frog. On Saturday, I discovered one of the rhubarb…Read more The First Rhubarb

Celebrating Life: Ducks and Scottie Dogs
The man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest. ~ Henry David Thoreau Remember when the smallest things would make our day as a child? Like getting a sticker on homework. Okay, sure I'm old enough when most of my school work was done on paper, and we had scratch-n-sniff stickers. Maybe it was chasing…Read more Celebrating Life: Ducks and Scottie Dogs
Working from Home: Week 26
Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path... Another week has passed. It's the last full week of August. When I started doing these posts, I never imagined I would be wfh for 10 weeks. Hitting double digits seemed monumental. Now, here we are at almost 6 months mostly…Read more Working from Home: Week 26
Celebrating Life with Burt
Celebrate life. To truly live, celebrate each day of life. Let each day be a festival of joy. It's Friday again! How did that happen? In some ways time moves faster wfh, and in other ways it feels slower. No matter how I perceive time to be passing, it's still important to celebrate life. Did…Read more Celebrating Life with Burt
Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision. Where has the past two weeks gone? I'm blaming the heat and the day job on lost time. Although, the heat has been fantastic for the sunflowers. We're down to the last three or four that haven't bloomed yet. Even our experiment from bird seed opened up.…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
Celebrating Life: Summer Showers
Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. ~ Langston Hughes In the PNW, we don't often get rain in July and August. When we do, it's often very localized. On Thursday, we had a proper rain shower. You can just make out the rain in…Read more Celebrating Life: Summer Showers
Working from Home: Week 23
Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning. ~ Winston Churchill The past week, I've seen about a dozen deer roam through our back yard and neighborhood. Mostly have been doe, but we did spot two bucks. We also saw an amazing rust colored bobcat. I now considered it a bad day if I didn't…Read more Working from Home: Week 23
Celebrating Life with Sardines
A cat does not want all the world to love them, only those they have chosen to love. Since the British Hubby and I are finding new ways to celebrate life, why shouldn't the cats as well? To be fair, I think our cats already have a pretty amazing life. Sure, they wash their own…Read more Celebrating Life with Sardines
Working from Home: Week 21 and 22
Everyone has his day, and some days last longer than others. ~ Winston Churchill I missed a wfh post last week. Between the summer heat and my allergies, my creative juices weren't quite up to par last week. The past two weeks, I've bought another tank of gas and had an oil change. In 2019,…Read more Working from Home: Week 21 and 22
Celebrating Life with Sunflowers
We think there is endless time to live but we never know which moment is last. So share, care, love, and celebrate every moment of life. It's been awhile since I've done a celebrate life post. I thought it was time to bring it back. In many states the virus is rapidly spreading and hospitals…Read more Celebrating Life with Sunflowers
